UrbanA Community Conversations are a series of regular (nearly biweekly) online events that bring together people with a passion for urban sustainability and justice to connect, learn, discuss and have fun. They are a core part of the UrbanA Community of Practice. Each Community Conversation, CoCo for short, involves one or more short presentations of the work of an UrbanA fellow, followed by a participation section for guests to explore the themes explored. All CoCos reports and videos can be found on our blog on Medium and by following the #UrbanACoCo on social media (twitter, instagram, facebook).
